The only male student from a "village school" in Hanoi won third prize in the national physics competition.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Tran Quang Hung - class 12A8, Ngo Quyen High School, Ba Vi - is the only student from the outskirts of Hanoi to win a national award this year.

Among the 21 students from outside Hanoi's specialized high school who will be part of the national gifted student team for the 2024-2025 school year, Tran Quang Hung is the only representative from a suburban school.

Of the 20 members of the physics team, Hung is one of only two students who are not majoring in physics. The other member, Hoang Pham Minh Khanh, attends the prestigious private school Newton Secondary School. Previously, Khanh led the Vietnamese team in achievements at the 2023 International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) with a silver medal.
